Buss Hussman said that he had a grandfather clock
that is not in running order. He wanted to know if any
one knew of some one who could fix it. Fred Young, of
Olney, was recommended by several of the members.

Joyce Shotts asked if pansies may be used as house
plants. The response was that pansies are generally
used outside, but that she might try them as house plants
and see what happens.

Bill Hartge asked if tomatoes should be staked or
not. Whereupon a lively discussion ensued; that it should
be done and how to do it, preferably by the Alan Thomas
method. Your secretary is fearful that she did not get
the details correclty, and anyhow anyone interested should
consult Alan Thomas for the know-how.

Betty Hartge wanted to know if there is any one in
the neighborhood who could and would teach the minuet.
The response was that Gladys Tumbleson might agree to
teach that dance.

The Horticultural was adjourned at about this
point to meet next with Alan Thomas on Tuesday, May the
11th, at the Community House at Sandy Spring.

Respectfully submitted,
Lucy Manning,
Secretary.
